Does the IICT offer its members provider numbers for Private Health Fund rebates?
IICT is not an association and therefore cannot grant health fund provider status.
In order to keep our membership fees at the lowest possible price, IICT does not offer provider numbers directly to members.
Because IICT is not an Association, we fall outside the necessary requirements to grant health fund provider status. Many people are unaware that private health funds only provide rebates to a handful of modalities, so in many cases, your modality would not be eligible for health fund provider status. If you do find that you require provider number status, then we recommend you select a specialist association for your chosen natural therapy. The Australian Government announced that from April 1st 2019 that health fund rebates will no longer apply for the following modalities: Alexander technique, aromatherapy, Bowen therapy, Buteyko, Feldenkrais, herbalism, homeopathy, iridology, kinesiology, naturopathy, Pilates, reflexology, Rolfing, shiatsu, tai chi, and yoga. IICT welcomes and offers membership to members of existing associations, please contact us if you have additional enquiries.
